K.L. KHURANA vs STATE OF HARYANA . — C.A. No. 1093/2001

Case Summary: K.L. Khurana v. State of Haryana (C.A. No. 1093/2001) The Supreme Court dismissed K.L. Khurana's appeal against a High Court order that found his continuation as Junior Engineer in Faridabad Municipal Corporation illegal. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that Khurana and four others, who were only matriculates, lacked the required Diploma in Civil Engineering mandated by the 1998 recruitment rules and therefore could not legally hold the Junior Engineer position. The Court noted Khurana's temporary appointment had been discontinued and directed that if existing vacancies predated the 1998 rules, eligible candidates under the prior rules be considered accordingly; no costs were awarded.
